Proprietary and Confidential Page iv ADL Radio Module Manual Document p/n: 9S02-7897-A001 Rev.A1 LAIRD FCC Part 15.105(b) Warning Statement NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. IC RSS-GEN, Sec 7.1.2 Warning Statement- (Required for Transmitters) ENGLISH:
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

This family includes high-selectivity radios covering several RF bands used world-wide for remote control applications. They are built around a common architecture, and present a uniform host interface definition. The host interface is used for data communication and radio configuration. 1.2 Scope This document describes the host interface signal definitions, timings, operation mode, available functionalities, and provide details about its integration to Unity products. This document does not cover RF specifications or power supply specifications. 1.3 Applicability Applies to ADL family members, P/N 2PCA-7897-xxxx 1.4 Definitions, Acronyms 1.4.1 Definitions 1.4.2 Acronyms Laird Inc. Proprietary and Confidential Page 1-1 Features Summary ADL Radio Module Manual Document p/n: 9S02-7897-A001 Rev.A1 Features Summary 2. The ADL design addresses in first place Unity applications requirements. Its interface however is general enough to allow compatibility to other legacy Cattron products. Direct electrical compatibility to Unity RF interface The interface is defined for natural integration to Unity product line. Data interface - support for synchronous and asynchronous serial link. Stand-alone operation for production test The ADL can interface almost directly to a PC serial port for testing
(no need for CPU board); only a TTL/RS232 translator is required. These different aspects are covered in the rest of this document. Figure 2.1 - ADL Module Block Diagram The TCXO provides the reference frequency to transceiver chip When the module is in RX mode, the RF switch is set to RX enable. The RF signal is sent to transceiver chip via a bandpass filter. The transceiver chip will decode the rf signal to digital signal and pass to the control interface When the module is in TX mode, the digital signal will be send to transceiver chip. After the RF signal will be delivered through RF switch and radiated via either MMCX RF port or embedded PCB loop antenna Laird Inc.

All LRM configuration and status parameters are accessible through addressable registers.
- All parameters can be read in any of the following state: IDLE, RX, TX
- All writable parameters can be written in the following state: IDLE only In order to facilitate adaptation to different platforms, the ADL configuration registers can be accessed using anyone of three methods: I2C, SPI or serial asynchronous with ASCII strings. The definition of the configuration registers is given in reference [3]. This section addresses the basic description of all these three methods. 4.1 Stand-Alone Test Mode The LRM can be operated in stand-alone mode for production/service tests. In this case, only a 3.3VDC supply is needed, and a RS232/TTL transceiver (like Cattron FLASHBOX) to connect to a PC serial port. Figure 4.1 - ADL connection for stand-alone operation The LRM will support several built-in test modes to ease testing from a PC. For example a. Transmission Tests
- Generation of different type of carrier: unmodulated (CW), or modulated with 101010.. or pseudo-random sequence
- Automatic generation of test RF frames with predefined content b. Reception Tests
- Measure PER (packet error rate) when receiving the predefined test RF frames
- Measure RF input level More details about the test modes can be found in reference [9P13-7949-A001]. Laird Inc.
